Yes, they're called intptr_t and uintptr_t (ยง7.18.1.4), but they're both

That certainly is an amazing idea. You know the pointer you are coming

If I'm not wrong Neil Conway is working on
reimplement a double linked list.
Looking around I found this post of
"Herb Sutter" on comp.lang.c++:
In particular, a motivation behind two-way pointers is that you
